my block for the partnership quilts

So this is my contribution for the Partnership Quilts (hanging on the fridge with the aid of my magnetic pegs).

Japan-01

The theme for 2012 was “Squares & Triangles”, so I used the disappearing nine patch pattern for the block and added a few triangles in there. The scraps from the quilt I’m making for Miss M were just perfect for the project.

Japan-02

I did most of the block by hand, which explains the wonky and not perfectly aligned pieces. I also had to redo the border, as the original ended up being too thin and making the whole block too small for submission (had to adhere to the size requirements).

I’m quite happy with the result and the block is now on its way to Japan to be put into a quilt. If you would like to see other contributions, have a look at this Flickr group.

    Yana! Your block turned out very nice!! It must have taken a lot of time to start over, but now we know it will definitely be in a quilt at the festival! I am very much looking forward to looking for this there!
